Chapter 54
Chapter 54: Bitter end
After taking care of the criminals, ensuring they could not pose a threat or contact anyone, Cain and Levi removed several metallic containers from the truck’s trailer.
Levi scanned the barcodes and confirmed that those were the ones stolen from Rouk City. A smile appeared on the duo’s faces once they confirmed that.
Now that Cain and Levi had apprehended the criminals and recovered the stolen goods, their mission was over. They needed to return to the Lightning Imperial Fort and reclaim their reward.
“It will take some time for the military truck to reach this place, and they will not go anywhere. We should check the cave where they came from.”
Cain could see the greedy light in Levi’s eyes, and the same thing appeared in his. The criminals were in a hurry to escape and might have left something valuable hidden inside the cave.
Although neither Cain nor Levi dared to think of taking something from the containers, the possessions of these criminals were entirely different. Levi’s space ring already contained the staff and sword from the Level 3 Essence Wave Warriors.
Levi and Cain had large smiles as they flashed toward the cave. Even if the chances were small, the idea of great wealth enticed the youths.
.....
However, the moment they entered the cave, the smiles of Cain and Levi were replaced by utter shock.
The cave was mostly empty, except for two bodies. The criminals had thoroughly burned them, leaving nothing but their bones.
Cain and Levi had seen their fair share of death, so it was odd for some corpses to affect them that way. Their minds froze because those bodies were small, really small.
